Building a Beloved Community: A Journey to Being Anti-Racist
Thursdays- Feb. 27, March 26, April 3 from 4:00-5:30pm -Cultural Center SLO Campus
Co-facilitators: Bailey Drechsler and Donna Howard
Creating opportunity for critical conversations around racial equity, faculty and staff are invited to participate in our series of deeper dialogues on race and racism and the impact it has on us as educators and student advocates. Dialogues will involve exploration of building a positive racial identity, understanding white privilege, and moving towards anti-racist practices in our classrooms, institutions, and within ourselves.
In the spirit of building connection and safety in these courageous conversations, we ask you to commit to all three dialogue dates.
Snacks will be provided. Please sign up HERE by February 24, 2020. Space is limited. Details and information will follow after registration.

Women's Health, Legendary African American Midwives, and Student Activism in Black Communities
Linda Janet Holmes, co-author of "Listen to Me Good", will focus on health disparities and multicultural health with special emphasis on African American midwives. Holmes's pioneering work and publications demonstrate how midwifery enhanced the experience of southern Black women despite the racism and segregation that shaped their society. Holmes will also share intimate knowledge of Virginia's first Woolworth's "sit-in" by Black college students facing the same Jim Crow society - and how this resonates today.
An accomplished oral historian, author, and women's health activist. Holmes is currently writing a book based on oral histories of midwives from
Kenya, Ethiopia and Ghana
